New Release Thursday and a freebie!

Hey everyone!! I've got something awesome to show you! Today is the debut of my brand-new girly kit, "My Darling." Special thanks to Talia French for her submission in my Name This Kit contest! Note for contest winners: Coupon codes have all been sent out, so check your email and let me know if your code didn't come through! :)

My Darling contains 16 papers and over 45 elements!! Click on the preview to head to my store for more previews and details. Both the kit and the glitter are 30% off until Wednesday, August 5th, so snag this deal while you can!

The kit:


Here's a preview of the alpha (included with the kit!) just for kicks:


And the CU glitter pack!


And here's what my awesome CT has been doing with it so far! Click a LO to see a larger version in a new window.






A quick survey question for those of you paying attention -- would it be beneficial to you for me to put my alphas in the shop, sold separately? I would still include them in the kit, but I really like some of the alphas I've done for my kits and wondered if people might like to buy them as a standalone. Let me know what you think!

In the meantime, here is today's freebie - another quickpage made from this new kit! I just love playing with it!

"My Darling" Quickpage #2
This is a 12x12" "drop in" quick page created by me, Kimi, with my brand-new kit, "My Darling." It uses the kit's included cluster frame, leaving space for three photos. Have fun with it! :)

Mondays... *sigh*

Whew. It's been quite a day. I was supposed to have a shiny new template pack in store for you today, but what with various new processes at MLAS, it's not available yet. Has to go through QC. Sooooo instead I'm going to give y'all the freebie I was going to use to announce the template pack, as I have no idea when said template pack will be released.

"My Darling" Quickpage #1
This is a 12x12" "drop in" quick page created by me, Kimi, with my soon-to-be-released kit, "My Darling." It's a lovely, girly little kit that has bits of elegance and whimsy in a nice soft mix of pinks, blues, creams and browns. This quickpage uses mostly the pinks. It also uses one of the templates that will be available in Template Pack 04, so keep an eye out for that! ;)
My Darling will be released at MLAS this Thursday. "Name This Kit" contest winners will receive their coupon codes then. Please see previous post for more details.

Happy scrapping! Keep an eye out for the release of "My Darling" later this week, along with another freebie quickpage and (hopefully soon!) the release of Template Pack 04! :)

Pardon the dust...

My layout is under construction! Please pardon my dust while I get some pretty new blogwear all set up. :) Thanks!

Drumroll please!

And the winner is... My Darling! Talia French, thank you for your submission! You can expect an e-mail from me as soon as the kit is released, with a coupon to grab the kit for free!

There were so many great entries! A few of them deserve a little something extra, so here are the runners-up:
-Butterfly Kisses, submitted by Melinda
-Flutterby Garden, submitted by Michelle
-Satin Blush, submitted by Linda
Each runner-up will receive a coupon for 40% off the kit! Congratulations, ladies!!

And just so it's totally fair and everyone gets a chance to win something, one random winner selected by random.org will receive a coupon for 30% off! That winner is... Jennifer (who submitted Summer of Love)! Congratulations!

Important note: The kit is all finished, packaged and ready to go. I will be submitting the kit for a quality-check today. I am hoping to release it within the week! As soon as it's up in the shop, I'll send out e-mails to each of the winners!

And just so no one leaves empty-handed, here's a freebie template for you!

Template 56
This is a three-photo template with a little built-in inspiration -- a suggestion for where to perhaps place a string and a flower, and a scalloped mat you can use for a clipping-mask, if you like. This is a single-page, 12"x12" template in PSD format, with PNG files for each layer included. Have fun! I'd love to see what you do with this!

Name This Kit and win it!!

Hey everyone!! It's time for a little contest and giveaway again!

I've made my first really girly kit, and it needs a name! Here's how it works: Take a look at the preview below and come up with a great title. Post it here at my blog. The person whose title I use will win the finished kit -- absolutely free! This contest will run until Thursday, July 23rd at 11:30pm (PST). I will announce the winner on Friday morning, and when the kit is released, the winner will get a coupon code to be the first to download! (I'm hoping it will be ready to go by next Thursday - it depends on how long it takes to go through quality-check after it's named and uploaded to the store.)

Note: Please leave info for how I can contact you if you win -- a username at MyLifeandScrap, ScrapMatters, DigiShopTalk, DigiScrapAddicts or DigiTownSquare is fine, or an e-mail address.

Preview Removed -- This contest is now closed! Thanks for playing!

The collab is HERE!!

Hey everyone! I've got news! This month was my first chance to participate in the Monthly Mega kit at MyLifeandScrap!! It's called Road Trip and it's totally awesome! It has an Americana, route-66 sort of theme. Here's the full kit (click to visit the store!):


I got to contribute some papers, a couple of elements, and an awesome glitter pack, all of which are included in the whole kit! Here are previews of my pieces just for kicks:



The whole mega kit is only $5, so check it out!

Sorry, no freebies today :( But I hope to have something for you this week, so stay tuned!

Little Man!

My newest kit is finally here! Little Man has passed QC and is now officially released in my shop! It's on sale at 20% off (only $3.99!) until next Wednesday, July 15th. You will also find a matching CU glitter pack, of course! Click on the previews to visit my shop!

Little Man is a cute kit perfect for your rough-and-tumble little guys. With lots of hardware and metal, it's tough like your little men, but with plenty of fuzzy felt for the little snugglers they are on the inside. ;) There are two alphas included - one large fuzzy one and one small metal one. This is my largest kit yet, and (I think!) my best. You can click on the previews to visit the shop, or scroll down to see what my awesome CT has done with the kit so far! They have made some AWESOME layouts with it!
